Fans spot revealing detail in Australian-born Danish Queen’s latest photo
- Replies 14
In the world of royalty, where every gesture and glance is often scrutinised, a recent photograph of Tasmanian-born Danish Queen Mary and her husband, King Frederik, has captured the attention of royal enthusiasts and casual observers alike.
The image, released on the Danish Royal Family’s official social media, has become a focal point for fans, particularly in light of recent scandalous rumours that have swirled around the couple.
The photograph in question was taken at a Medal of Honour dinner for the armed forces at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.
The royal couple shared the spotlight with Frederik’s mother, Queen Margrethe, who recently abdicated the throne at the age of 83.
The image showed Queen Mary and King Frederik standing close together, shoulders touching, with Mary sporting a radiant smile.
‘On Monday evening, the Royal Couple hosted a dinner with the participation of representatives from the Armed Forces, the Air Force and the Emergency Management Board,’ the photo caption read.
‘Her Majesty Queen Margrethe also attended the dinner held in Frederick VIII’s Palace in Amalienborg.’
‘Frederick the 9th established on his birthday, the 11th March 1953, The Medal of Honour of the Armed Forces and Air Force as a parallel to the Navy’s Medal of Honour, which as the first badge of honour was established in 1801 by Christian the 7th.’
‘The (Medal of Honour) dinner is held on Foundation Day, the 11th of March.’
This display of unity and warmth has been interpreted by many as a subtle yet powerful rebuttal to the unsubstantiated affair claims that have recently plagued the couple.
Rumours emerged late last year in a Spanish magazine, Lectura, suggesting that King Frederik had been involved with actress and socialite Genoveva Casanova after they were seen together in Spain.
The allegations, which were vehemently denied by Casanova and met with silence from the Danish Royal Family, had cast a shadow over the monarchy, with subsequent photos of the couple reportedly hinting at underlying tension.
However, the latest images seem to tell a different story.

Fans have pointed out the couple's apparent happiness in each other's company, with one follower commenting on how 'at ease' they look together.
‘King Frederick and Queen Mary are so handsome. All three have big smiles. Happiness is there,’ one observed.
‘One can’t help but be proud, all three are radiant,’ another said.
‘Lovely, lovely Mary–I hope she’s okay,’ one wrote, referencing the recent rumours surrounding their marriage.
‘Being exposed to those writings, rumours and pictures for several months now must be so psychologically hard and destructive for both a person and a marriage. Huge thoughts for her.’
The attention to detail in the photograph extends beyond the couple's body language.
Admirers have also remarked on the exquisite table settings, which some suggest may hint at Queen Mary's growing influence as a new era dawns for the Danish monarchy.
‘(These pictures) contain all the symbolism change of throne represents to me. The royal couple in the foreground and the proud and happy mother/mother-in-law in the background,’ one wrote
‘We love the presence of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe, not at all sidelined, but graciously and dutifully honoured, still,’ another said.
Some observers suggested that Queen Margrethe might have stepped down to revitalise the Danish Royal Family's reputation.
Before the ‘Casanova’ accusations came to light, the Danish Royal Family had managed to steer clear of scandals.
